An actual mechanic will have to tell you how to redo the rails or etc. Might help if you had a photo of the table...

Ask these guys? Or you can send an email to brunswick with photo's.
Looks like a brunswick logo shaped nameplate to me.

if you look on the inside of the frame in the corners Collender used metal brackets that were stamped. Piano keys do make excellent diamonds. The rails\subliner may be loose and usually are so sometimes. These can be taken off and replaced with new liners which is easier then refitting and come cut long so you dont have to do rail extensions. The nets you can go to Hood Leather. Nice table, worth restoring for sure imo.
Many Makers in the day used the same design plate\size\shape so they could essentially replace and advertise the table as theirs. Brunswick has so many who knows how many dif style NP's they have. Good trivia question?

John,
I had an Oliver Briggs and sons table that could have been a twin to the one pictured above. Not sure from just one angle but I would guess an Oliver Briggs out of Boston Ma circa 1900.
